I'm back...
Feb. 11th, 2005 11:08 amMardi Gras was intense and fun... 5 days of partying.
"What happens in Mardi Gras, stays in Mardi Gras"
That being said, here's a quick high-level recap of my weekend -- some stuff I feel I can share... the rest? well, let's just say there's stuff that we're all leaving there and if you want to know more about it, join us next year! :)
Fri: Flight went smoothly & got to hotel OK. Nice hotel: Marriott Courtyard on St Charles... would definitely recommend it and hope we get it next year too I would think. Ate at Delmonico's (one of Emeril's restaurants). Very good food. Ate in the same room as Melissa Tomei, Gene Simmons (I think?), Thom Filicia (from Queer Eye), and Willie Garson (Sex In City).
Sat: Don't remember much. (Seriously, drank so much that afternoon the night is a blur.)
Sun: Watched parades, screamed for beads, attended the Bacchus Ball (saw Sean Astin [drunk]).
Mon: Walked around the French Quarter, attended the Orpheus Ball, threw beads from a balcony on Bourbon St.
Tue: Slept for 2 hours, flew home.
I'm still catching up on sleep and deep in the middle of a terrible cold and catching up on work and friends here at home too. Just finished browsing through the last week of LJ friends' postings. Work is getting very busy for me... I'm glad I was able to take a little time just now to catch up on LJ a little. Don't expect a lot of posting in the next couple days, but I'll try to keep on top of things.
